objectives for an organization can not be
overemphasized. Objectives provide the
foundation for planning, organizing, motivating
and controlling. Without objectives and their
effective communication, behavior in
organizations can stray in almost any direction.

objectives, these are the following :

organization is trying to reach within
three to five years.

objectives should reflect the environment within
which the organization operates. As indicated

must recognize that environmental trend are then
taken shape that will affect the future relevance of
the objectives and odds of accomplishing them.
 Managers should keep track of innovations in order

segment of the organization knows what role it
must play, on both a long- term and short-
term basis, in order for the organization to
reach its overall objectives.

people within an organization are attempting to
reach, individual objectives are designed so that
accomplishing each one contributes to the
accomplishment of the broader objectives of the
department.
 The primary advantage of establishing
individual objectives is that they help individual
workers understand exactly what they are
expected to contribute to the development.
